I feel like I sound like a paranoid nutcase now HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-rock-and-play-sleepers-and-mold#post-298197 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:26:43 +0000 Chastenet 298197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now I want to check mine!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-rock-and-play-sleepers-and-mold#post-298196 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:26:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 298196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm not sure, there were mold spots on it when I got it from the other mom - but I google searched and it seems to be common. My guess would be from pee or something soaking into it and not getting cleaned well right away? I'm honestly not sure :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-rock-and-play-sleepers-and-mold#post-298193 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:26:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 298193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>gross... how does it grow mold?</p> <p>I will keep in mind and buy a brand new one for baby #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-rock-and-play-sleepers-and-mold#post-298189 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:24:20 +0000 Andrea 298189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Does it just randomly grow mold? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-rock-and-play-sleepers-and-mold#post-298138 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:51:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 298138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bumping in case anyone didn't see this! </p> <p>not saying everyone is going to have a moldy RnP, but just wanted to warn about it, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-rock-and-play-sleepers-and-mold#post-294848 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 08:19:56 +0000 littlebug 294848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes!

I should have taken a photo before I put it out with the trash - I saved the pad (washed a few times) because it was fine, lol. but the sling was SO yucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-rock-and-play-sleepers-and-mold#post-294716 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 07:09:41 +0000 winniebee 294716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Say what? WOW. Thanks for letting us know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-rock-and-play-sleepers-and-mold#post-294706 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 06:59:34 +0000 sorrycharlie 294706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have written before about buying a used RnP and there being mold spots on the under-sling, that cannot be washed except by hand. A quick google search told me that this is a very common complaint.</p> <p>I was able to contact Fisher-Price and they sent me a brand new one, but I would warn everyone who uses one (if it's not too late!) to perhaps put a blanket in between the pad and sling, or even a lap pad (the flannel waterproof things). Or if you're comfortable, under baby's bum.</p> <p>Not worth the hassle of dealing with mold on baby items! </p>
